Fedora Core 6 Linux with Beryl. uptime 7 days:









beryl is so cool. i have multiple desktops on the cube with translicencies. it rocks, far superior to anything i have seen. (except the prototype concept Mac has just produced)

 

on *Nix systems: to take a screen shot, press "print screen". then save it. it will be saved to your desktop or home directory.

on Windows: press "print screen". then open Paint. now go to Edit >> Paste. finally, save the image (save as).

on Mac: press Command-Shift-4. the screenshot will be saved to your desktop.

for more information, go to this wiki. it will also explain how to do this in Windows Vista.

 

Just looks like a XP clone desktop to me


(just joking !!!!!! )

 

lol, nice one.

you can post yours too. i wanna see other ppls desktops. thats why i put mine up. lets get the ball rollin. mine is unique but this isnt a competition. i just want to see other cool or nice desktops. whether it be a beater or you just fixed it up.

 

impressive Adderall_Assasin....
I tried to install beryl with compiz but it was kind of buggy I will post some screenshots later....

 

Aderall I am very interested in that - I have not heard of Beryl what is it?
Is Beryl what allows you to have that cube thing?
Damn I got a feeling I may be getting into fedora soon

 

yes, beryl does allow the cube thing. it was originally from Xorg but Beryl is kind of a compilation of all the graphical effects of all cool window managers combined.

it is really easy to install Beryl on Fedora Core 6. if you decide to try it out, i can tell you how i did it. it is not hard like other distro's because fedora has packaged everything to setup Beryl automatically. it is just 1 command now (or install from graphical YUM).

and raysun,
Beryl with Compiz is a tricky one. i am actually using Metacity with Beryl. Beryl is more like a layer that uses the window manager.

 

would I find it easy under suse too? but then suse is a bit heavier on resources isnt it - yep dammit ! you got me interested in messing with linux desktops again - oh no - I could be ages playing with these toys at the expense of other things - ! ha erm oh er, ha yep I have to see what it will do now ! damn!

 

lol sentient. at least you dont have to pay for these toys.

i have not seen this in OpenSuse 10.2 but it may be there. in Fedora Core 6, be sure to install the Livna repository just in case you need graphics card drivers or other things that arent available in the Fedora repos.

btw, what graphics card do you want Beryl on? and how much graphics memory?

 

That is correct I will wait for a more stable release of Beryl next time I will give metacitty a try...
here are few screenshots of my desktop....

 

wow rayson. that looks great. what icon set is that, i have not seen it? i use that same, or close to, window border on my Ubuntu system (iBook). it looks great.

is that BSD? i thought i saw something that said BSD in one of those shots.

 

hi Adderall_Assasin....
I used gnome-art to theme my desktop the icon I used is Kearone's Comicons light the window border is DarkX-2 I still have to do a few more tweaks....
this is from my debian system

 

can someone with a fast connection to the net tell me what download speeds they get when trying to download the fedora core files from their site using the provided links (not bit torrent or ftp software) they wont let me download at more than 35kbs
and each iso is going to take about 5 hours that way

unless they got faster sites elsewhere

 

here is a list of mirrors:

http://rhold.fedoraproject.org/Download/mirrors.html

you can choose from many different servers from around the world. if one doesnt work or isnt fast enough, try another. to be honest, i think i usually get about 300k averages when i have downloaded fedora but i got my FC6 DVD it was a torrent.

35k is low. let me know if the link helped.

 

i just tried this mirror and got 500k-500k speeds.

ftp://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/iso/

btw, i am in the US and i think thsi is a UK mirror.

 

Thanks I sorted it out, but used a mirror in Belgium and am getting 256Kb
(its only a 2 meg connection )

 

I hate to sound "on one" about it but I hate fedora and everything red hat. I just cant do it, it drives me round the twist its a really really dumb version of linux !!! If there is an error it never recovers itself but reboots its like windows 3.1 in comparison to suse.

There now I feel a lot better (I am downloading suse and will run beryl under that) On the beryl website it says I can so I will.

In answer to your q I am just gtoing to be using a bog-standard card that I filched out of a dell machine - its a ATI rage pro 128

I am going to run everything on a pentium 3 with 384MB ram and a 1 gig swap disk

 

sorry if fedora didnt work out for you. 128mb rage pro should be fine for Beryl. just be sure you have a good graphics card driver cause some cards have 2 or 3 different drivers available for each card.

better luck for it
